Was buzzing around the lake today and coming around Worcester Island heading south from Wolfeboro I spotted two new orange markers (like the ones they put near the town docks to mark 150') in the middle of the cove where people frequently anchor, just south of Springfield Point in Wolfeboro. In between the markers were three MP Boats rafted together. This cove is adjacent to where a new mansion was built just a couple years ago with a huge boat house (I just happened to stumble upon this rental listing for it yesterday).

So being curious, I slowly approached the MP boats to ask about the new markers, an MP Officer, a State Trooper and an ununiformed gentleman all turned my way as if to warn me off. I stopped, shut down the engine and asked what the new markers were for, the MP Officer responded that they were temporary and that the cove was closed-off for 2 weeks. He was fine, friendly, no problem. So having just read the internet listing about the property for rent at $30000 a week, I couldn't help but ask "Who rented the house?" The plain clothes gentleman responded "There are four heads of state staying here beginning today for 2 weeks (now I figured out he was probably a secret service agent). Again, no problem, he was very friendly too, I said thanks and headed off.

So, I thought that was pretty interesting, I have no idea who will be staying there, and I wasn't going to bother to ask, but maybe we'll see something about their visit in the news. In the mean time, I'll have to pick another spot to drop anchor and have lunch.
